Download Double Killer : Duplicate Image Killer

As its name suggests, it searches for ‘double’ copies of all types of files employing any combination of name, size, modification date, or content. You can also employ wildcard searches and filter results using masks or attributes like file size range or files with certain properties like ‘read only’, ‘hidden’ etc.

The results are displayed at the end of the scan and here you can manually or automatically select the files to be deleted. The results can also be exported as a tab-delimited text file which can be imported into a spreadsheet application.

The 793 KB standalone program comes as a free version and also as a paid version with more sophisticated features.

Features

- You can exclude files based on their name, file type, attributes or size

- Presents a list of all identical files so you can decide which ones to remove

- Deletes the files you chose or moves them to another directory

- Allows to export the result list to a text file

Description

DoubleKiller searches single or multiple directories for duplicate files by comparing any combination of file name, size, modification date and content. Using user-defined masks like *.mp3 or *.dll you can limit the scan to files that interest you or protect important files from being scanned. Furthermore you can exclude files in a particular file size range or files with certain attributes, like hidden or system files.

When the scan is finished a list containing all duplicates found is displayed and you can manually or automatically select the files to be removed. The result list can be sorted and exported to a textfile readable by both humans and spreadsheet applications.

DoubleKiller is a stand-alone executable that does not need to be installed, just extracted and run, and does not alter the system in any way without the user's prior permission.
